Dr. John. F. Mahoney was a very knowledgeable, caring, patient neurologist, who never gave up on a difficult case. I had the pleasure of knowing John for 38 years. May he rest in peace.

Thanks to Dr. Mahoney's skill and knowledge I was able to function normally for almost 10 years without the use of pain medication. As a result of that when the time (unfortunately) came that I could no longer walk without surgery
I had 10 years of excellent care that got me through.
Over the years we would become more friends than Dr. and Pt. and he would go on to help !y family through the loss of my father at the Carney where he consulted is as a.friend of the family and later to on to continue to treat me and my future wife for her chronic conditon.
He was THE best physician I ever knew and more importantly one of the nicest people I ever met in my life.
I am shocked and.saddened to hear of his passing.
I would like to pass my condolences from the entire Burke family to Celine and Dr. Mahoney's( I could NEVER call him John) children and somehow try to let them how much he genuinely helped so many people.
RIP
Sorry to Celine and children for your loss.

Celine,
I was so sad to hear of John's sudden passing, he was one of a kind, his like we will never see again. I was a patient of his since 1993, not only was he my Doctor, he was also friend and confidant who helped me through many difficult times.

The world has lost such a brillant, kind, caring, knowledgeable and sometimes funny man. It took me 30 years to finally find a doctor that didnt make me feel like just another file. I knew from the moment I met him that he truly cared and was there to help. I only wish I found him sooner then 6 months ago. Sending family friends coworkers and patients my sincerest condolences.

I'm not sure how many people remember that early on in his career Dr Mahoney was the Boston Fire Department Medical Officer. It was a troubling time in the city. John protected many firefighters from lay offs by keeping them on medical leave. It was a balancing act but he never wavered. He was also my neurologist for a time. After a fruitless work up with a surgical colleague at Carney , which frustrated him as much as it did me, he referred me to the neurosurgeon who took care of his mother. IIt was relief to be pain free after surgery. He was a true gentleman, with deep seated ethical beliefs. Plus a terrific doctor. My sincere condolences to his wife and family.

Mrs Mahoney and family please accept-my sincere condolences on your loss. I always drove my Mother
to her appointments with Dr Mahoney who was always very kind and generous to me and interested in my well being.
If it wasn't for him I'm positive my mom:'s condition would never have received the excellent care which she needed and the good Doctor provided her. May the Good Lord take care of him and watch over you and your family

Dear Celine, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. Your husband/father was the kind of person who could turn someone's day around, that's a special kind of talent from a doctor. He kindness, thoroughness, sense of humor and that smile set him apart from everyone. He was simply the best and will be greatly missed by so many. My life started to improve the day he became my doctor. Thinking of and praying for you and your family in this difficult time.

Dr. Mahoney (or John as he always referred to himself) was my doctor for many years while I served as a Quincy Police Officer. Without John's knowledge, dedication and most importantly compassion, I would have never been able to continue and finish my career of 33 years. John understood the most important word a doctor has to know, empathy. While he could not feel my pain he understood what I was feeling. When you had an appointment with Dr. Mahoney you always saw Dr. Mahoney . You didn't see his PA or his NP, you saw him. He made time for you and made you feel like you were his only patient. John and I shared a deep love for the Red Sox and invariably my visits would always end with a discussion about our favorite team. The world has lost a brilliant doctor but more importantly it has lost a beautiful man. God Bless you Dr. John and may you Rest In Peace forever.

My thoughts are with Dr. Mahoney's family at this time and he is in my prayers. Dr. Mahoney was a great man, dedicated to his patients. He took great care of my family, especially my father. Always taking extra time to find causes of illness and searching for a cure. He became a friend to our family and we were fortunate to know him. He will be missed.

What a very special man. He always had a smile, a funny story, and was a breath of fresh air. I am a nurse and whenever he walked in, I was so happy to see him because he was such a jovial and brilliant man and his patients had so much faith in him. He was one of a kind. Rest In Peace Dr Mahoney

Dr Mahoney took special care of me when I was having trouble getting a diagnosis. He took the time to call the MRI center to be sure that a special test was done. I always felt indebted to him . He was a very special person. He will be greatly missed.
